Sounds like a plot twist from a political thriller, doesn’t it? The real story isn’t just about numbers; it’s about timing, tone, and who controls the narrative. While the opposition says caution, the ruling party calls it proof of strength. And here’s the kicker: this growth happened despite global chaos; wars, supply chain meltdowns, Gulf tensions. PM Modi called it a “herculean feat.” Ravi Shankar Prasad went further; accused Gandhi of “cheat-speak” and questioned if he’s even doing basic homework. But let’s pause. Is this just political mudslinging? Or is there a deeper message here about how we measure economic health? Maybe the bigger question isn’t who’s right; but who’s making the numbers matter to the common voter. After all, growth doesn’t always mean relief. And criticism doesn’t always mean sabotage. In a democracy, disagreement isn’t dishonesty; unless you’re being asked to apologize for it.
